Global designer clothing leader Kate Spade Saturday opened its first store in Tokyo's trendy Harajuku district earlier this month and another in Osaka last week, and plans to have a total of five Japan stores open by June.

Following the Japan launch, it also debuted in the US via an online store and is eyeing a push into other international markets later this year. Reuters/Toru Hanai
